Conclusion of the Monitoring during Surface Water baseline study of water Ground Water Quality of Surface Water It is observed that: Parameters such as BOD, Total Hardness, Mg++ Hardness crossed the prescribed limits in all sample while Chlorides exceeded the limit only at Jolva Pond. The quality of Jolwa, Vav, Vadadla, Dahej & Rahiyad can be compared with class E and Quality of Kadodara can be compared with class D as per classification of inland surface water. There by requiring necessary treatment if utilized for drinking purposes if there is no alternate source for drinking purpose. The quality of Narmada Estuary falls with Class SW-IV as per coastal water marine standards. Quality of Ground Water This aquifer is in the close proximity of sea. The aquifer comprises of saline water containing high TDS. Only those wells which are located near the surface water bodies are yielding relatively good quality water. Dilution in water quality is likely after monsoon. Fluorides also observed above the permissible limit in Jolva, village. The saline water yielded from wells is used for domestic purposes other than drinking water. l Suggested mitigation measures w. r. t. Water As Below 188 Parapet wall and bumps to prevent wash out of salt from salt yard and also separate storm water line will be provided to collect salt water which will reused in the process. Effluent will be treated in existing ETP, Proposed UF/RO & ETP 2 and will be disposed to GIDC Drain after meeting the GPCB effluent discharge norms. Separate drains for storm water and effluent will be provided for proposed expansion project to avoid any contamination of surface water sources; All chemical and fuel storage and handling areas will be provided with proper

18 SEAC, Gujarat Page 18 of 21 m bunds & dyke walls to avoid run-off contamination during rainy season. Rain water harvesting will be adopted for the conservation of water; Regular maintenance of effluent treatment plant will be done to ensure smooth operation; No discharge of untreated waste water on land. Conclusion of the Monitoring during As Below baseline study of Land n The porosity ranged from 56% (Jolwa & Vav village) to 61% (Atali village) and WHC varied from 52.4% (Galenda village) to 62.3 % (Vadadala village); The soil permeability was low to medium which ranged from 1.33 mm/hr (Rahiyad village) to 10.7 mm/hr (Vadadala village); The EC of soil ranged from 140 ds/m (Vav village) to 800 ds/m (Galenda village), while ESP varied from 0.19 (Koliyad village) to 1.78 (Suva village); These soils are neither saline nor sodic as ESP is < 5.0; The ph of soil ranged from 7.63 (Rahiyad village) to 8.26 (Jolwa village), which indicates that soils are neutral to slightly alkaline Suggested mitigation measures w.r. As Below 190 t. Land o The vegetation cover clearing will only be done on which construction is to take place; Reuse of earth material generated during excavation will be done; Optimization of land requirement through proper site lay out design will be done; Fly ash will be given to cement manufacturer, brick manufacturing unit and for road construction; Storage areas for hazardous waste, fuel & raw material will be impervious and will be designed to prevent Leachate penetration; Generated hazardous wastes during project operation will be transported to an authorized TSDF/CHWIF operator. Conclusion of the Monitoring during As Below baseline study of Noise Noise level during day time and night time, in Industrial area was observed within the CPCB standards i.e. industrial area (75 dba (d) & 70 dba (n)). Noise level during daytime and night time, in Residential area was observed within the CPCB

19 SEAC, Gujarat Page 19 of 21 standards i.e. residential area (55 dba (d) & 45 dba (n)). p Suggested mitigation measures w. r. t. Noise As Below 186 q r s The Predicted increase is maximum 0.2 db during the day and 0.3 db during the night in Industrial area and 0.2 db during the day and 0.3 db during the night time in Residential area according to SoundPlan analysis. This increase is negligible considering that the minimum noticeable increase by a human ear is 0.5 db hence it can be concluded that due to noise generated from the proposed project there will not be any impact on the surrounding area. Main issues in Public hearing (If Project falls in Notified 211 applicable) Industrial Area of PCPIR for which Environmental Clearance has been received by MoEFCC. Brief description of Public hearing (If applicable) Not applicable Major hazardous chemicals and As below: 286 worst case scenario considered in Risk Analysis report. On the basis of the study of the chemical properties like flash point, phase of chemical, operating conditions and total inventory etc. Benzene, Iso Propyl Alcohol, Methanol, Toluene, Chlorine (Bullet & Pipeline), Hydrogen Pipeline, Epichlorohydrin, Methyl Chloride, Methylene Chloride, Chloroform & Carbon Tetrachloride have been selected to carry out consequences analysis. Scenarios considered for simulation in PHAST software were 1 mm & 5 mm leak for Chlorine Bullet & Pipeline, 10 mm & 20 mm leak for H 2 pipeline while for other chemicals 10 mm, 25 mm leak & Catastrophic rupture. It can be concluded that only due to 5 mm leak in Chlorine tank / pipeline, toxic dispersion effect at IDLH concentration is going outside the plant boundary. Comments/Suggestions/mitigation measures in brief As below: 287 Spill management plan to prevent risk of spill which may cause health problem;

20 SEAC, Gujarat Page 20 of 21 Off-site & Onsite emergency plan will be followed to tackle any emergency situation for proposed facilities; Medical checkup will be carried out at an regular intervals; During site preparation appropriate PPEs will be provided to site workers and staff members; During operations, appropriate PPEs like Safety Goggles, Hand gloves, Clothing etc. will be provided. t An undertaking by the Project Undertaking is provided. 544 Proponent (PP) on the ownership of the EIA report as per the OM of MoEF&CC dated 05/10/2011 and an undertaking by the Consultant regarding the prescribed TORs have been complied with and the data submitted is factually correct as per the OM of MoEF&CC dated 04/08/2009. u Any other details: -
